Help me!
Hello, I understand linking to businesses is not permitted on Wikipedia but I have noticed a number of links from both people and companies that do exactly this so I am trying to get clarification on what is, and what is not permitted. Please help me with... I have been reading all about how to contribute to and how to edit pages on Wikipedia but am far from confident from doing so as yet. I have my own catalogue of websites that I built for authority in the travel niche particularly Spain but I understand I cannot link to any of these from Wikipedia as I would be seen to be a business (although I don't sell anything as yet although the websites I have built will be linking into a sales site eventually). There are a number of pages I wouldn't mind creating in relation to some unknown Spanish Festivals that have no mention on Wikipedia (and indeed hardly any mention anywhere on the web) and these would be total information pages regarding these specialised events but I would be looking to do this more so I could link my own websites back to the pages on Wikipedia (not the other way around) so a link from my website to Wikipedia NOT a link to my website FROM Wikipedia. As I have been researching my niche I found these two links on the Wikipedia "Haro Wine Festival" page - http://www.festivalsallaround.com/wine-fight-festival and http://www.wine-fight.com. Both of these link CLEARLY lead back to businesses selling tours to this event as well as tours to other events so I am wondering how they are any different from my own Google Sites Website https://sites.google.com/view/winefight. From everything I had read about Wikipedia these two links clearly violate the guidelines by linking to current operating businesses. Can someone please help me as I do not want to do anything at all that might jeopardise the Wikipedia pages I wish to build regarding a whole range of different Spanish Fiestas. I look forward to hearing back from anybody who can help me with information on this. TransportDept (talk) 18:39, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * You're right that some spam links make it through to our articles undetected; feel free to remove them when you see them. As for writing new articles, sure; create them as drafts (see WP:DRAFT) and then submit them for review once they're done and there should be no issues. However, if these festivals you wish to write about are indeed as "unknown" as you suggest, you will almost certainly run into trouble with WP:SOURCES. 78.28.54.83 (talk) 19:10, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
